Trains at: Edinburgh Waverley - October 2019

Some clips at and around Edinburgh Waverley taken during a visit to the city on Sunday 13 and Monday 14 October. Looking at the significant changes at the station and the new rolling stock in service since my last visit in July 2018.

8:11 about 4 years ago I went past the bush and spotted there. Great shots from there and the video is good; got some good clips of the HST

[@tonybell3422]

Thanks for a wonderful and informative look at Waverley, only been there once and you have reignited my desire to go again. But it is a long way from Exeter. Cheers.

[@geoffharrison7053]

Wouldn't normally watch a train video this long (usually 15 mins max), but the photography and editing was good, and the caption comments at the bottom were very informative, making this into a well rounded and produced video and a pleasure to watch

[@BoogiesTrains]

Thank you. My target time is 15 minutes. I normally split into parts if I have more than 25 minutes of material. In this case I didn't have any more and didn't want to cut anything out as it fitted the story I wanted to tell.

[@ufx808]

A very entertaining video, thanks. Will be looking for more of your videos.

[@BoogiesTrains]

Thank you. I have quite a large back catalogue already on KZbin and publish new material regularly. I mainly work around London within the validity of my Freedom Pass.

[@bobmather3615]

Thanks for a very interesting film with information sub-titles.

[@Andrewjg_89]

Very nice video. Plus with most of the Class 385s in service.

[@pathegarty4757]

Very good presentation, it was enjoyable.

[@BoogiesTrains]

Thank you.

[@traingalaxy]

Excellent capture 💓

[@Desiro360]

Very good informative video at Edinburgh, nice one. :)

[@martinxxcz2919]

I love these comments in the video! It gives me info about this place and about trains! Like and subscribe and greetings from Czech Republic! :)

[@deauvilledad07]

An excellent and informative video. Well done 🤓🏍

[@deauvilledad07]

@Republic of Ventroman ,I use them like a signature. 🤓

[@davidrice9880]

Thanks for another good video perhaps you will be doing York and Doncaster for their variations.

[@BoogiesTrains]

I was up in Edinburgh seeing family. My normal range is bound by the validity of my Freedom Pass around London. I am very tempted to go to York once the TPE 802s are in regular service but I will have to get a budget allowance from the Head of Finance.

[@calnfl5747]

Superb video!

[@faustobrindisi5745]

Dear Friend: I am a fervent admirer of the railways and next year I will visit England for 12 days, the cities of London, York, Liverpool and Manchester. I am interested in knowing some station around London to observe the trains at speed. Which would you recommend for filming train passes at good speed? Many thanks and warm regards from Argentina, Fausto.-

[@BoogiesTrains]

Hi Fausto. Please send an email to me at [e-mail] and I will try to help you.

[@peter7452]

Very enjoyable video

[@stuartramsay8411]

I7C with great western livery are not refurbished. Weltec (?) Are way late with the refurbished carriages. These ones still empty loos onto line, but have old seats!

[@BoogiesTrains]

I didn't get to see any of the refurbished sets. It's Wabtec that are doing the work. I think they are trying to do some in Kilmarnock now to try to catch up.

[@warrenpark5516]

Great video, very informative, Thanks

[@ELAviation]

Nice one mate

[@swrtrainspotter]

Very good video

[@maimadha]

Great video:

[@kennethhume8628]

This might sound like a daft question but do driver training trains run empty or with passengers? Most enjoyable video and the on screen info is most helpful .

[@BoogiesTrains]

Only class 1and class 2 trains carry passengers. Just to confuse things some class 1 trains now have reporting IDs beginning with a 9.

[@kennethhume8628]

@Boogies Trains , thanks for the info .

[@risvegliato]

Aberdeen to Penzance? That's got to be the longest train journey you can make in the UK without changing trains???

[@risvegliato]

Wow. just looked it upon National Rail. 13 hours, £252.

[@BoogiesTrains]

If you can get an Advance ticket by committing to the journey about 10 weeks in advance you should get cheaper.

[@Monty13Transport]

I love 125s and them Hitachi's.

[@maimadha]

HSTs and 91s are better than IETs

[@milesthemelonator]

More of this please bud

[@BoogiesTrains]

Unfortunately my visits to Scotland are only about once a year. Next year should see new TPE units in service on both East and West coast routes to Waverley.

[@milesthemelonator]

@@BoogiesTrains shame you didn't catch a refurbished ScotRail HST though if what I'm reading is correct it'll be a long time before they're all refurbished

[@pacificelectric1955]

Edinburgh to Penzance? Sounds like the Transsiberian at the scale of the UK!

[@gordonbruce2416]

Tanu Ccio I used to catch the Aberdeen to Penzance from Aberdeen.

[@BoogiesTrains]

The full journey is actually Aberdeen to Penzance. The longest scheduled passenger service in the UK.

[@poltrum392]

Diesel trains, OMG. Is this the '60 's ? What a country ……...

[@BoogiesTrains]

Unfortunately many lines do not have the traffic density to merit conventional electrician. Diesel is still the only viable fuel with sufficient power density for heavy rail in this situation. Rail is much less polluting than alternatives such as road and flying. As the energy density of new technology improves we can be sure that rail will be an early adopter.

[@rossco29]

3 pair of class 158s 6 car unit

[@EM-yk1dw]

Have they kept those awful seats in the Scotrail HSTs? Hitachi muck imminent on LNER. 5 car to Penzance! What a disgrace. The only decent things are the 334s.

[@AliIslamic07]

I’m not trying to be rude to the Scottish people out there but it feels so different how the woman that announces the platforms

[@BoogiesTrains]

We Scots are different. Having lived in London for nearly 50 years, even I notice the difference when I go back north. It feels more and more like a different country.

[@BoogiesTrains]

Indeed the good folk of Inverness do have a reputation for vocal clarity.

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

That's '390137' with a Ghost trains

[@BoogiesTrains]

It is 390122 according to the number on the driving cars. I think the units coming back from work at Widnes have been minus front end branding since the change of franchisee was announced. Consequently there are a few around. This one is odd because one end still has the virgin red. I think I saw it around London recently as well. I have quite a lot of material waiting for publication so it might appear later.

London North Eastern Railway

[@youtubeviewer7030]

just like australias XPT

[@QwertyScream]

14:00 you mistakenly said “fpr” and not for.

[@breeze1472]

How as your Azuma experience?

[@BoogiesTrains]

The ambience seems better than the GWR units. The acceleration is noticeable. We were doing 60 by Abbeyhill and passed Craigentinny at 90. We were at a table of four so possibly sat more upright and were better supported by the seat back because of that. I certainly didn't get the sore back that I get on a GW airline style seat where I may slouch a bit. Would the average punter notice the difference between an HST, a 225 and an Azuma? Doubtful.

[@breeze1472]

@@BoogiesTrains I did after my recent trip to London

[@susfranzliszt]

The Scots stole my favourite diesel.

[@trainreviewsbymelon1415]

How the hell did you see a 390?

[@BoogiesTrains]

They do run to Edinburgh, although I think a Voyager is more common. Saw one on both Sunday and Monday. My video of trains at Haymarket published last year might also have a 390.

[@trainreviewsbymelon1415]

Wow, Never new that are they ECML or WCML?

[@BoogiesTrains]

Virgin run services to Edinburgh via the WCML.

[@trainreviewsbymelon1415]

Oh, I seen the WCML On my way to Chester. Even though I didn’t see anything.

[@BoogiesTrains]

Edinburgh will become even more interesting when TPE are running 397s via the WCML and 802s via the ECML. When you add these to the ScotRail LNER and XC mix it looks quite exciting.
